Opera Mini for Android Gets Social

Opera released a new update for its Mini mobile web browser for Android yesterday. The new version features a useful Smart Page that it says will help manage your social networking life easier.

The new version was announced on its Opera Mini / Opera Mobile blog and it includes stability and download improvement. The most notable improvement is its new Smart Page feature.

What’s Smart Page, exactly? Well, it’s an intelligent front page for your browser. It lets you add Twitter and Facebook accounts and get direct updates from the services. The browser also “learns” your browsing habits and will show news from your favorite sites on the Smart Page.

Since I’ve been using the new update, the browser does seem to be faster and more reliable. I especially like the way you can switch between tabs – you get previews at the bottom and just slide between them.
